"In this medieval ecclesiastical thriller set in early 14th-century Europe, Burman tells of the struggle between Philip the Fair, King of France, and the Catholic Church to obtain a mysterious but potent relic belonging to the Order of the Knights Templar. The relic could sway the balance of power in a struggle for control of the church. Burman has woven an interesting and suspenseful tale based upon his speculation on the provenance of a prominent medieval relic. Characterization is not always consistent, and the early chapters suffer from some muddled plotting, but when the tale picks up speed, there's entertaining reading." Dean James Library Journal "Edward Burman grew up in Cambridge and studied Philosophy and Fine Art at the University of Leeds in the UK. He lived in Rome for three years, where he studied art, learnt Italian, and wrote articles for the local English-language newspaper. He then lived in Tehran, where he worked as an editor and became fascinated by the country's history and literature. Back in Italy, Burman wrote various books on occult subjects and Italian culture and taught in the universities of L'Aquila and Bologna." Bloomsbury. Seller Inventory # 371-2023
